Poems

I don't know if these rhymes qualify as poetry or not. Are you familiar with them? I used to know what day of the week each of my 5 children were born on but have now forgotten. It seems my brain can only hold so and so much and useless knowledge is the first to go.

I used to read poems to my children and grandchildren too. I was fortunate in that I had the care of the first three grands 5 days a week while their moms worked and the last two grands live right here in the same house. So although I don't think I read them these sayings, I did read many others to them.

I gather these illustrations were part of an ad for thread.

I looked it up and I was born on a Wednesday. Whew! Sure glad I wasn't born on Thursday.

Hi! I don't remember ever seeing those until I was older. I don't remember seeing the little sayings on the bottom either. Is it on the birth certificate? I am curious to know what day I was born on. Is that on your birth certificate or how did you look it up? Nancy

About Me

A journal of activities and thoughts where I write about my very ordinary life. I'm a wife, mom, and granny. I enjoy decorating my house for the seasons.
I love flowers and most of the large city lot we live on is devoted to shrubs and perennials. I am fortunate to live close to a small lake right in the middle of the city and walk there almost every morning.
